Sample of Work
Reviewing and Restructuring CSR Strategy
ABC partnered with the CSR division of a company which had been operating social and community initiatives for over 20 years. Initiatives were not always regular or structured. The organisation was interested in documenting its initiatives, understanding their impact on the various stakeholders involved, and using the information to create a clear action plan to guide all future activities
To meet this end the ABC team:
Reviewed existing program documentation and data, and accordingly built a research plan
Collected data through surveys, interviews, and focus groups, from leadership, employees, and beneficiaries
Analysed pre-existing and newly collected data
Measured and documented the impact of initiatives
Identified strengths and gaps in the CSR process
Presented strategies to the CSR Board to maximise sustainable impact moving forward
